I have a 39 Ford Standard 2 door sedan. Could any of you Forum tell me the torque setting for the front spring u bolts? Thanks Marv:)
 
Thank You 1940. That is evidently why i could not find a torque setting for it in Motors Repair Manual.
 
Aside from tightening them to precisely realdamntight, plus or minus 5 pounds, the important thing on those is to retighten a couple times after some use until you are sure they are happy and stable. If they get loose, you will get symptoms like broken crossmembers and springs. Whenever you find a broken front or rear member on an old Ford frame, you can be sure those U bolts worked loose...
